Abstract

The essential function that medical social workers play in interdisciplinary healthcare teams is critically examined in this study, which highlights the value of their input to cooperative patient care. The efficacy of multidisciplinary teamwork is enhanced by the distinct abilities and perspectives that medical social workers bring to the table, bridging the gap between medical treatment and social determinants of health. They guarantee all-encompassing treatment that considers both medical and emotional factors by negotiating challenging social institutions and standing out for the demands of patients. Medical social workers have a vital role in society, but they also confront obstacles to role recognition, professional identity, and institutional constraints that may hinder collaboration. The literature on the benefits, difficulties, and methods for medical social workers to be successfully integrated into healthcare teams is included in this study. It draws attention to the necessity of institutional support, open lines of communication, and professional respect in order to optimize the advantages of multidisciplinary teamwork for patient care. In order to maximize the engagement of social workers in hospital settings, the article seeks to shine light on successful cooperation models and best practices, offering guidance to legislators and other healthcare professionals.
